1. Im going to
complete 10 months! wow... a lot has happened since 10 months ago. For
one, Im fatter. For two, I can speak a bit of spanish now. For three, my
knowledge of the gospel has increased ten fold.
2. I am almost twenty! Wow.... Im old. (My birthday
is August 2nd, so if you send me a birthday package now, it will get to
me by my birthday :) ) Hint hint wink wink nudge nudge.
3. We had emergency transfers.... So im not companions with elder
Diamond anymore.... Supposedly some of the elders that were supposed to
come and replace the elders who had finished their missions didn´t
arrive. So as a mission we are down 20 elders. So to make sure that all
the areas had enough elders, we had to make a few changes. I am still in
Unquillo, but now i have a new companion. His name is elder Labra. He
is a chileano! WOOT WOOT. I <3 chileanos. He is actually supppper
awesome. Definitely one of the coolest elders in the mission. He barely
speaks any english so my spanish skills will be put to the test these
next weeks.
4. We found 18 people last week that are new
investigators. and we found 3 families! woot woot. So hopefully we will
be baptizing a TOOOONNNNN of people for my birthday. that would be an
awesome present.
5. I got sick again this week.... Bummer. I had to
take a couple hours off of each day and stay in the pension to sleep and
take some pills... but im ok.
6. I received a
Freaking awesome package!! Cassie sent me a package and it had a lot of
cool things in it. One thing that especially caught my attention was the
STEVE NASH JERSEY. wayyyyy legit. Love ya cass :)
7. Matt got his mission call. WAYYYY legit as well. I
cant wait to hear about all the cool people he meets in his mission and
the experiences that he will have. I really know that he will learn a
lot because I, as a missionary right now, have learned more than i could
ever learn in any other place. Forth Worth wont be able to handle Elder
Williams.
8. My computer doesn´t have a place where I can send
pictures so hopefully i will be able to switch computers here soon and
send you all some photos.
9. One of the
investigators we were going to have died.... :( We received a reference
from one of the members about an old widow that lives alone. So we were
planning on going by to visit her today... Then last night we received a
text from the member who gave us the reference, and we found out that
she passed away.
10. We found a man that has a lot a faith....
hahahahahahahaha (long story). but basically we were teaching a man and
whenever we´d ask him a question, he´d answer it by saying, "i dont
know, but all you need is faith, and i have a lot of faith." Now elder
Labra keeps talking about faith and making jokes about him. I love Elder
Labra.
Well yeah. Thats about all that happened this week!
I hope you all are good and well and happy and stuff. Keep reading the BOM!
Love Elder Gray
